1 site · Tent, RV · Shoreham, VT
Indulge in the tranquility of my stunning lakefront spot. As you journey in, you'll be surrounded by picturesque farms and orchards, immersing yourself in the serene countryside atmosphere. Tucked away on a low-traffic private drive, our property is nestled among a few homes and camps, offering a peaceful getaway. Our site has water hookup or tank fill, 50 AMP electrical plug and sewer hookup.
This area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with opportunities for walking, biking, swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking, and viewing the breathtaking sunsets over the Adirondacks across the lake. The hardpack driveway is perfect for campervans, truck campers, and drivables. If you're bringing a towable, please note that expertise in backing down a tricky driveway is required, as there's limited turnaround space at the parking area.
Feel free to utilize our fire ring for campfires, when there isnt a fire ban in place. You may collect sticks and wood that is on the ground. If you would like larger pieces of firewood please let me know. You may back up next to our deck and use the picnic table and charcoal grill (please bring your own charcoal, as none is provided).

Camp Okwáho
4. Camp Okwáho
1 site · Tent, RV · Wilmington, NY
Located within the Adirondack Park, our camp is a private woodlot with a fantastic view of Jay Mountain! You’ll enjoy peace and quiet, with no road noise or light pollution. The eastern exposure of the site provides plenty of sunshine. Although you’re likely here to explore the Adirondack Mountains, our property invites you to truly relax and enjoy the surroundings.
The driveway leads to a level area for car camping or pitching a tent. You’ll also find a stone fire pit with firewood available for purchase (honor system) on site. A unique timber framed outhouse is just a short walk from the campsite. As a rule, we leave the outhouse stocked with toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and trash bags. However, because we won’t be on site to restock supplies between guests, it’s best to come prepared with those items.
We think you’ll agree that our location is hard to beat! You’ll see and hear wildlife throughout your stay. Listen for the drumming of a Ruffed Grouse by day, and for barking foxes, chatty coyotes, and hooting owls at night. While fully immersed in a prime Adirondack setting, you’ll still be surprisingly close to nearby attractions and conveniences:
1 mile from the Jay Mtn trailhead
2 miles from the Ice Jam Inn (dinner)
2 miles from the ADK Cafe (breakfast, lunch)
4 miles from Ward Lumber (camp supplies)
4 miles from Jay Covered Bridge/swimming hole
8 miles to Keene (beer, gas, groceries, etc)
10-20 minutes from lots of High Peak hiking access (Giant, The Garden, and others)
16 miles to Lake Placid
While we do mow and cleanup up several times per year, our Camp is fairly primitive. That being said, you might encounter tall grass and an occasional fallen tree (free firewood!).
The driveway and campsite are navigable in a vehicle with 4WD/AWD. A bit of extra ground clearance will help. If you have concerns about whether or not your ride can handle it, feel free to contact us… we can weigh in.
Please treat the land with respect. We ask that all guests clean up after themselves upon checkout, and take their trash with them when leaving. Thank you for your interest in Camp Okwáho. We know you’ll enjoy your stay!!! 🐺

Great centralized yet secluded spot. The lean to was the kids favorite to hang out at, eat meals, etc. Water from a well was provided, water pressure wasn’t the best but just filled our white tank and used water pump, power was also provided. Totally recommend for anyone looking a spot to explore ADK!

I camped one night here when I was passing through. It was easy to find and once at the campsite it has a ton more privacy than I expected for being a big open space on an orchard. I wish I could have stayed longer to visit the corn maze. Thanks for the apples!

Robin was a wonderful and gracious host. We had clear directions to her site, and the photos were accurate and helpful. There was a lot of grassy space for us to pull in and park our 22’ sprinter van camper. We choose to be opposite Robin’s beautifully decked out ADK lean-to and campfire ring. The site was quiet and chill. The walks down to the River and to shops in town were easy and convenient. Great site all around.

Dan's campsite is secluded, peaceful, serene and comfortable. Easy to find, nice to drive straight to the site which is way off the beaten path, pond is beautiful and the frogs honking were a lovely music to fall asleep to. Can be quite buggy and warm depending on the time of the day (typical Vermont) so be sure to bring some bug spray and a tent fan. Thanks for hosting us!

This was my first solo camping trip & first Hipcamp experience. I could not have chosen a more perfect location for both than Dan’s campsite at Peck Farm Orchards. The site was exactly as described, easy to find & newly mowed. Vermont in general is beautiful, but East Montpelier in particular is a little slice of heaven - rolling hills with meadows & cows & orchards & woodland. Quintessential Vermont at its most lovely & iconic! And far enough away from Montpelier that you feel off-the-beaten-track, but close enough that you can easily zip into town for coffee or supplies. Dan’s campsite is near a small pond at the bottom of the orchard with delightful views of a shallow valley & nearby fields. There is a farmhouse on the other side of the valley, but it is definitely part of the iconic scenery with its stunning old barn! There is a rural dirt road not too far away so you occasionally hear a truck or tractor, but overall there’s a ton of privacy & quiet. My nighttimes were full of the sound of frogs in the pond, and my campsite was visited by a couple deer in the mornings. Dan was communicative before my arrival & then briefly dropped by the campsite with his young sons to make sure I was comfortable. I didn’t need to contact him during my stay but felt that if I had needed to reach him, I’d easily be able to. I would definitely recommend the campsite at Peck Farm Orchards - and I can imagine it’s even more “Vermonty” in the Fall with the foliage & apples!

A great location for everything Wilmington ! Very quiet street with a lot of wildlife nearby. There's a nice swimming hole just a short walk down the street, along with public picnic tables along the Ausable River. Great host and clean site with water /well hose and a nice authentic ADK lean-to and firepit. Very relaxing .

This was my first Hipcamp experience & solo camping trip. I could not have chosen any better than the orchard at Peck Farm. The site was newly mowed when I arrived, and everything was true to the description on the Hipcamp app. Vermont in general is beautiful, but East Montpelier is truly a little slice of heaven. Rolling hills, meadows and 100-plus-year-old barns. Dan’s site was easy to find and just the right combination of comfort & off-the-grid feeling. There are a couple rural dirt roads nearby, but almost no traffic. And there are also a couple farmhouses within sight of the campsite, but if you’ve chosen Vermont as a destination, then you know that is a big part of the charm. The location is both remote but intimate. There is a small pond with tons of merrymaking frogs, and cows grazing in a nearby field. I wasn’t visiting during apple picking season, but I imagine that camping at Peck Farm Orchards is even more fun when cider & doughnuts are available! Dan was communicative & stopped by briefly to make sure I was comfortable, but in true Vermont fashion, he was also very respectful of my privacy. If all my future camping experiences with Hipcamp are similar to five days at Peck Farm Orchards, I will indeed be a very happy camper.

The best dog-friendly RV parks in Lake Champlain guide
Where to go
New York Shore
Wild forests and dreamy lake views await on the west shore of Lake Champlain, and boaters and hikers will be in their element. Explore the Lake Champlain Valley by bike or on foot, enjoy some of the region’s best bass fishing, or come in winter to enjoy snowshoeing, ice fishing, and ice skating. Plattsburgh is the largest city on the New York side, from where ferries run to Vermont, but you’ll find RV parks and campgrounds dotting the lakeshore.
Adirondacks High Peaks
The forest-clad mountains and wilderness areas of the vast Adirondacks park lie just west of Lake Champlain, where you can scale the High Peaks, kayak or whitewater raft along the rivers, and marvel at some of New York’s best fall foliage views. There are RV sites with full hookups and glamping options to be found in the Adirondacks, but for a back-to-nature camping trip, opt for a backcountry tent site in the heart of the wilderness.
Vermont
Lake Champlain’s eastern shore lies in Vermont, framed by the verdant hills of the Green Mountains. The lakeside towns of Burlington, Shelburne, and Colchester all make strategic basecamps from which to explore the lake, or you can take your pick of 13 Vermont state parks around the lake. Cruising out to the Lake Champlain Islands is a must, and Grand Isle State Park on South Hero Island has one of the region’s most popular campgrounds. An added bonus: Campers get free beach access in Knight Point State Park on North Hero Island.
Montreal & Quebec
Lake Champlain’s northern shore spills over into the Canadian province of Quebec, fringed by sandy beaches, lush parks, and marinas. Head to Venise-en-Quebec to enjoy water sports and boat cruises through the summer months, or base yourself in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu along the Richelieu River. Both have options for campers.
